Anyone have one of these?

Beautiful.
Now I know a bit more about the 1100's origins.

Yes, have had it since grade 8. I am the second owner.
Yours is in a bit better condition than mine.
Have fun shooting it

I've never seen one of those before. Looks to be in very good condition! What would be the ~ year of manufacture?

I'm not too sure what the year is.
I'm doing some googling on it right now but its not going so well.

Fine guns, I've owned a few- an 1100 trigger group will drop right in!
My son has a Wingmaster that has two custom choked and ribbed barrels the skeet barrel being from a 58!!
